The culmination of Primer is a feat of in and of itself. Shane Carruth not only single handed operated as writer, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, music composer, and co-lead actor, but also managed to accomplished it all with a five person crew, a five week filming window, and a budget of $7,000. Carruth, a mathematics major turned engineer turned filmmaker, taught himself film production and physics, resulting in a complex cinematic experience that contains an experimental plot structure, philosophical implications, complex technical dialogue, and a distinctive flat, overexposed look.
Abe and Aaron, two young engineers living in prefab suburbia, undertake conducting extracurricular experiments in their own garage, resulting in an accidentally discovery that could enable them to do and to have seemingly anything they want. However, the two soon realize their devices carries heavy implications and dire consequences.
